Solo in the Sand

the great thing about performing seria in the 21st century is that you have a text and dramaturgy guided entirely by 18th century ideals of courtly etiquette, getting translated into and reworked by contemporary sensibilities and approach to stage physicality. that is to say there's nothing outrageous in Deh se piacer mi vuoi in itself – it's a very clever character moment as an exercise of power in a no-longer-private setting, so Annio's presence is not just warranted to maintain dramatic flow but necessary for the aria to work as it is. but then we arrive to the 2000s and new ideas of what you're allowed to do onstage and Annio has about ten seconds of taking cover before there's five minutes of heavy petting involving his good friend that he has to make sure not to witness
